Beta 3

Hey guys, It seems like we're not going to get Beta 3 out the door. Our big patches to the Zend engine dragged it on a bit, and now there are plenty of issues, like thread-issues, the high-performance Zend API upgrades and more which are really dragging things out. I think there have been such huge changes since Beta 2 it's time to get Beta 3 stable and out the door. We should do a feature freeze and just work on getting Beta 3 stable. And when it comes to the zillion of thread-safe issues we have that need solving, we won't get them solved within the next two weeks, so we might as well get Beta 3 out and tested for the Apache users, and continue working on the thread-safe issues in parallel. If it means just adding the TSRM support to output.c it's not a big deal, but if we have to start solving deeper thread-safe issues like the module API, we might as well not make the tree and less stable than it already is, and get a stable Beta 3 out. By the way, also changes like Thies made to the resources, are a good a positive thing, but they did break stuff a tiny bit. How about saving any further serious development for Beta 4 and starting a code-freeze now? Andi --- Andi Gutmans <andi@zend.com> http://www.zend.com/
